To start off his night of getting out of his regular routine at the Warehouse, Macavity told himself to watch the Junkyard from above. Perhaps something interesting would happen, which would entertain him for awhile. That way he wouldn't care that much that Billy and Victoria would be eloping to Las Vegas and Victor was going crazy. Dammit! Get a hold of yourself! Stupid soaps…

Macavity levitated above, observing the Jellicles behind a tall Junk Pile. He could see kittens playing around, two of them being the young Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie; ex-agents of his. He couldn't have cared less though. They left his services for their pathetic tribe, and for some reason they were accepted back. The ginger sighed, deciding they were just idiots.

Another pair was his younger brother, The Rum Tum Tugger, and Bombalurina. He rolled his eyes. The imbecile of the Junkyard with Bimbo Bomba. Perfect couple, if anyone had asked him, though nobody ever would. Macavity could only smirk at that thought. He'd found the scarlet queen very attractive over the years, but not enough to want her like he saw his brother want her. It was quite ridiculous.

Finally, he noticed Munkustrap and Demeter. Macavity scowled, turning away from them. A perfect couple in anyone's eyes...except his. He sighed quietly. Things would have been much different if maybe he hadn't left the Junkyard for the power he had gotten. Macavity would sometimes ponder that, but never really got a chance to think it through. Mostly because every time he did, he paused when his thoughts came to Demeter. She was the queen that had enticed him the most. She was more complex than her sister, obviously, but she was also graceful, sweet, so trustworthy and loving… and she was in the arms of his greatest nemesis, his brother, Munkustrap. The silver tabby was a huge idiot, but Macavity was a bigger one for letting Demeter slip away from him. What would have happened if he had somehow kept his grip on her was more interesting than anything….

Soft music would have cooed through the Jellicle Ball. No one would have spoken as a gentle moon shown over two figures approaching each other. The scents of sweet sweat intoxicating them as a strong feeling of love overflew the Jellicles. A cool night brought the Junkyard to peace as a tall, muscular ginger tom approached a slim golden and ebony queen.

Nothing disturbed them, and the mood filling vacant emotions stressed the glorious cover of passion surrounding the couple. They performed a graceful mating dance that conspired of lifts, turns, twists, and bows. Each time he touched her, Macavity felt his heart warm in a soothing way. He had the most gorgeous queen in the world in his grasp. Even if Munkustrap was the protector, he did not have Demeter. Bomba hated him most days, but she could only watch idly with the Rum Tum Tugger. They were supposed to be performing a mating dance, but had not the means too.

Despite all of them, it was Demeter who was the brightest star in the Jellicles. A light shining over all of them as he lifted her over his shoulders. They quietly landed back on the floor as he held her close to them. They sank to the floor, aroused in love and passion.

Macavity grimaced at what would have been. His Demeter. His real place in the Junkyard… all thrown away because of his starve for power. He ached for greatness, and no matter how deeply he felt for the gold queen, he wanted to conquer London first before he did anything else. When that did happen, and he got what he wanted, the ginger tom was left with a void that could never be filled. He sighed as he moved closer into the Junkyard. He wanted to hear the conversation going on between Demeter and Munkustrap:

The gold queen was smiling as she spoke. "You know, have you ever heard the name Retenlor? I like that one…"

Munkustrap raised an eyebrow. "Well, that is a nice one, actually, but Misto said we have three other kits to think about, not just the oldest son."

"Well… I suppose… we could always name him after you, you know." She said, smiling wider at her mate.

Macavity scowled, uncertain of what they were talking about, but he listened any.

He chuckled. "Well… we have a couple of months to think about it, don't we, love?" he said. "I bet they'll all have your eyes…"

The gold queen purred as she embraced him. "You're too sweet, Munk." She said. "They'll be amazing kits, in any way. Demeter lightly kissed him.

Munkustrap smiled at his love. "I love you, Deme…"

"I love you more…"

"That's not even possible, love."

Macavity's heart stopped. He knew what this was about, but it struck him with sudden grief. His black heart fell deeper in hate and anger. She was pregnant. With his kits. The ginger tom growled smashing a crate behind him before levitating in front of the Junkyard. He left, hearing a few screams on the way….

A/N: Yes I'm sneaking some Mac/Deme in there… even if it is just in Macavity's brain. :) I'll try to catch up as soon as I can!
